I don't think I agree with this provision.

It would apply to high-value health insurance policies

I like this.

against the law for insurance companies to drop your coverage when you get sick

I see we're making a mistake by not including this.

He again called for a public insurance option < :-)

The Baucus Bill is truly bipartisan. Both sides hate it.

damn Aday, I thought you said you were a marine, what it is with you in wanting the gov to hand feed you?

RR: all those young people who have forgone buying their own insurance, I'm guilty of that, are going to be griping once they get fined for not having it.

(Obama’s) also planning to appear on five Sunday morning talk shows and visit David Letterman’s late-night show Monday

A friend of mine back in the States said she's envious of me living in Japan because I don't have to endure all-Barack, all the time on the tube. Apparently, he's on TV more than MASH reruns.

Perhaps the alphabet networks should just sell out all the way and give Obama an hour once a week in primetime. They can list it in TV Guide as either an informercial or a sitcom.

all those young people . . . are going to be griping once they get fined for not having it.

Skip: kinda interesting that Obama's propaganda department (the MSM) is not highlighting that provision of the Baucus Bill that Obama's touting. Guess they don't want to be called racists by the neo-coms.

skipthesong that's Marine not marine.

At least when Obama is on TV he's not looking to start a war like our last president. It appears he's trying to bring health care to everybody, not just to the people that the insurance companies want to insure. < :-)

Obama: "When I sign this bill..."

It'll be the beginning of the end of his one-term presidency.

Obama: "...it will be against the law for insurance conpanies to drop your coverage when you get sick"

And that'll be the end of the insurance companies. But never fear, the government will take over your health care, lol...

They are in the business to insure people for health care insurance. I thought it was called health care insurance, not well care insurance. < :-)

Where are the recent ACORN articles on this news site? They've been a big help in this push for national health care.
